[Bluez-users] Detecting RSSI without connecting

From: Scott W Gifford <hidden>
Date: 2004-11-09 00:03:38

Hello again,

For a project I'm working on, I'd like to determine which of several
(possibly many) Bluetooth devices is closest.  "Best RSSI" is a good
enough approximation of "closest" for my purposes, and since there may
be many devices and I don't have any other interest in them, I'd like
to get the RSSI without establishing a connection with each device.

It appears that "hcitool rssi <bdaddr>" requires that a connection is
established.  Do any cards provide a way of getting RSSI that doesn't
require establishing a connection?

Thanks!

----ScottG.
